Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Your DLC count result shows increase in neutrophils & there is also increase in absolute neutophil count. This report shows some kind of recent acute infection in you, But not Tuberculosis. In TB there is increase in lymphocyte count, which is decreased in you. So there is no question of tuberculosis.

Accentuated marking & heavy hilar shadows is quite a common finding in chest x-rays. It could mean anything from normal to very serious disease, if associated with other symptom of disease.
These finding are commonly seen in smoker, acute pneumonia, asthma, etc. If the symptom of diseases are present.
Consult a pulmonologist for refferal

Hope this information helps.
